Profile:
anjay Bangar is a genuine all-rounder, not the usual bits-and
pieces player. Batting is his preferred strength, but it has been
medium-pace bowling that has shot him into the limelight. Bangar
claimed five English wickets at Hyderabad in a three-day match
while playing for the Board President's XI. His bowling on an
absolutely lifeless pitch was good enough to convince the
selectors about his character and ability. Bangar is known on the
domestic circuit as the quintessential team player who does not
believe in setting personal goals.
Bangar made his Test debut at Mohali against England and was
unlucky to suffer an injury to his hamstring. Braving the
injury, he played a fighting knock of 36, holding the lower order
together and helping India post a big first-innings total that
eventually win the Test. He had a spectacular start to his ODI
career, picking up the wicket of Nasser Hussain with his very
second delivery. Bangar is thus one of the few Indian players to
have had a winning start to his international career in both
forms of the game.
Even though he was brought up in the grind of busy Bombay
cricket, it was Railways that offered him a place eight years
ago. Ever since, he has been an integral part of the Railways
team. He played a very crucial role in guiding Railways to the
Ranji Trophy finals in 2001. He has also played in the Minor
Counties circuit in England, which according to him was a big
help.
Bangar's consistent performances for Railways in the Ranji Trophy
ensured that he represented Central Zone in Duleep Trophy
(1996-97 to 1999-00) and in the Deodhar Trophy (1996-97 to
2000-01). The gritty all-rounder got national recognition when he
was chosen to play for India 'A' in the Challenger Trophy
(1999-00) and also at Abu Dhabi in November 1999.
This quintessential team-man is a live-wire on the field, and he
has enough tricks up his sleeve as a medium-pace bowler. Apart
from being a sedate opening batsman, his uncanny ability to get
the ball to swing late, even reverse-swing, makes him an ideal
choice for the much-needed all-rounder for the Indian team. The
phrase 'late developer' might be a much-used cliche applied to
him, but Bangar assuredly has a lot of cricket left in him.
